  • C
    The kinetic energy of the particles after the collision is equal to the kinetic energy before the collision.
  • D

In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3: 1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Then,the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision is:

Name the instrument used to measure the coefficient of restitution of a material and explain why frictional force is a non-conservative force.

In a collinear collision,a particle with an initial speed $v_0$ strikes a stationary particle of the same mass. If the final total kinetic energy is $50\%$ greater than the original kinetic energy,the magnitude of the relative velocity between the two particles,after collision,is:
